Bilstein HD here. Think I paid around $65ea. Much better handling especally when towing.

Another vote for the Bilstein HD's... great choice. Probably from summit racing is the cheapest.

I have the Bilstein's also, they're awesome...much smoother and more responsive than the factory Z71 shocks, which were pretty harsh IMO. Now it rides solid, not stiff.

Edls. are the biggest POS and dont do what they claim,it is snake oil from what a few people I have personally talked to.I have a set of KYB monomax,they have been on for 3.5 years and have no complaints.A lot of people like bilstein and I am sure they are fine.About the only thing i like from edlebrock is the intake manifolds for older sm/big block chevys.
